The new location of My168Project.com. As we know, anyone can make a movie in a week. Is it any good? That may be subjective. What I like may not be what you like. That's okay. It's All An Illusion, my 50+ plus years in and around the entertainment industry will be published just in time for Christmas, and include several articles I've written both here and elsewhere. Stay tuned!!!

Just got finished watching this. My thoughts? I have them. They probably echo yours. For the most part. I could write more, however, I have to give up the computer in seven minutes, so, in no particular order...

It's Batman.

Wait, no, it's not.

A Crime Fighting Magician?

Oh, wait. That's been done before, too.

Weird.

I should probably expand on these points one by one, and make this a really pretty bloglike post.

Several have given you a review that rates somewhere on the high side of The Suck Scale, however, I'm here to tell you different. It doesn't truly blow righteous chunks. Chunks, yes. Whether or not they're righteous or not is up to you.

It turns out this never posted, and it's what, 5 years later, and I'm clearing out the Drafts folder as it were, and I remember watching all of these episodes and even the parody on Community as well. My thoughts are the same as they were when I watched it for the first time.

I had a discussion at church the other day about how all shows look the same after awhile, and they're stealing plots from each other too. We all agreed that I was right. The superhero genre will always exist, and the same 36 plots with continue to exist as well. Hollywood will continue to crank out things that the majority doesn't like in the name of entertainment.

We could get into trivial word definitions at this point, however it follows that I will write and get paid for it on a more than occasional basis, and if you read, that's cool. Leaving a comment is better however.

There's got to be a morning after.... Maureen McGovern, from the original Poseidon Adventure. '72? I was 12. Two years later, some song for Towering Inferno that did not win. Unless I've got the two mixed up. All I know is that I bought the 45.... Today, that would be an MP3. Anyone want to donate $2.99? You know where the button is....This raises the question, "Oh, yeah?" I know, not what I was going to talk about, but for some reason, the need to remember something from my childhood came up. Yesterday, we performed the archaic task of setting our clocks forward one hour, in order to save daylight. What a ridiculous concept!!! There's the same amount of daylight no matter what the clock reads. The fact that it's still dark outside even though it's one hour later than at this same time two days ago confirms this. So, why exactly are we doing it? I'm guessing, but my thinking is that some yahoo in congress decided a long time ago that the need to have most people working, driving, and doing other things during the day was and is a good idea. As a result here in the state of confusion, we get more rush hour traffic than we've ever had before, and that's not only because the peer to peer services that have attempted to replace the taxicab industry have invaded recently.... Thinking about this further means that I should probably do actual research, and put names and faces in this beast to make it look pretty elsewhere.... To continue, this has been going on all my life. In case you forget how, "Spring Forward. Fall Back." People say they lose or gain an hour of sleep, and that's ridiculous as well. You get the same amount no matter when you get up. The clock doesn't rule you unless you let it. A good friend that happens to be close as well taught me that. Who knows, she might even be reading these words that I write on an occasional basis.... The math states that I've only known her for less than a tenth of my life, however I feel like I've known her always. One day I'll figure out how that works, and at that point, watch out!!! The need for speed, and how everything is calculated based on either time, energy, or

distance. More likely, a combination thereof. We just have to deal with the outcome. For about a year and a half, I worked at JPL, while living here in the beach that is round.

Roughly 4 hours out of my day wherein I was driving and doing practically nothing else. If I had today's tech, I probably would've been able to dictate most things, and create beautiful things as well. The tradeoff would be that most of my ATPM articles would be decidedly different. Maybe I'd have more shorts written as well. Someone to transcribe the musings of a random guy attempting to make it in a messed up world he was born into would be needed. I could've joined the unions necessary out of high school. I didn't need 'SC. I got the education I needed growing up with two loving parents that knew more than I did. Maybe my father would've lived longer. God had other plans.....Time!!! Rules us all. Doesn't care either. Didn't they introduce the Time Trapper on Legends of Tomorrow recently? Villains from The Legion of Superheroes brought into a show that's ostensibly about time travel makes life a little more interesting. I don't have to buy comic books anymore, because of the "investments" I made in the 80's..... I need to create my own line, and I've made a start of that. I should write another short, and dub it with new dialogue, at which point I'd only need a studio to record and about 6 hours..... A radio play at church. That's the ticket.... 5 characters in search of an exit. The 6th is the narrator, and the guy at the end that let's you know what's going on. Rod Serling was and is a genius. CBS cancels The Twilight Zone, but Serling is still around, so he creates The Night Gallery for ABC. Sundays in the 60's IIRC. I didn't get to watch that show for whatever reason. Probably because it was on a competing channel, and dad still worked at CBS Television City. I didn't think I'd end up here when I started this random rant, however here we are.

The origin of The Black Fox's catch phrase comes from the following syllogism; Timing is

everything. People fear change. It all comes downto this. What is this? Something that

needs to be changed.... Who is this? The Black Fox. What makes the change? The blue smoke bomb that hides the quick-change.... "This Changes Everything!!!" in Seacoast City, or everyplace else.There is a change taking place within all of us, and at some point, you'll realize that it has already taken place within you. I'm not one to tell you what to do with yourself after you realize that it's already been made. That's my story. Hope you enjoyed it. May or may not be a major motion picture coming soon to a theatre or drive in near you. If you don't live near either one of those my advice is, "Move!!!"

Thanks In Advance For Your Support!!!

About Me

Watch my favorite movies of all time, and you'll get an impression of what I'm like. However, that would only scratch the surface. The best thing to do would be to either, ask me directly, OR, do a search on my name. However, that probably won't tell you a whole lot, either.
